A recent article about gazpacho brought out readers' favorite versions of their own cold soups.

Bob Thurn writes of his white gazpacho/white almond soup recipe that calls for cucumbers, garlic, Greek yogurt and sour cream, “I like both red and white gazpacho, but when it comes to the white, I like it with a bit more substance.

“It may not be good form for a German-Irish guy to comment on a Spanish traditional dish, but I like it this way. I'll save the bread for some brats.”

Our second recipe is from Cathy Radcliff, who is sharing her favorite recipe for a fruit gazpacho. The recipe, she says, comes from cookbook author Pam Anderson, and rather than use traditional tomatoes, it calls for fresh mangos in the base.

“I have served this as a first course at two dinners this summer and all of my guests loved the recipe. Because it's so healthy for you, you don't have to worry about it being so heavy as to deaden guest's appetites or too much when it's hot.

“The jalapeño is said to be optional, but I add it and think it makes the soup what it is. The hot peppers work well with the fresh fruit flavor.”

Thanks go to both our readers for sharing their recipes.
